<p>I was very frustrated with using Google Hangouts as a phone on
my Mac. I was hoping that Hangouts plus would be the solution I
needed. But it does not seem to work as I expected. I suspect I
have configuration problem, but I don't see any options that help
me get this working as I expected. Can you help?</p>

My Mac UUID is: DC227DED-C0B0-5D08-BE89-EC33EB893813</p>
<p>I used to use Google voice just as a replacement for a phone.
Then Google<br>
put that into hangouts and it got complicated and did not work very
well.<br>
I'm hoping to find something that will be a nice simple application
to make<br>
and receive phone calls. I hope that is what your new version will
do.</p>
<p>Thanks,<br>

for a grey<br>
"No Conversation Selected". Nothing to click on at all.</p></div>Ken Kingtag:macappsters.tenderapp.com,2015-09-19:Comment/391200972016-02-09T20:30:48Z2016-02-09T20:30:48ZUsing Hangouts Plus as a replacement for landline phone<div><p>can you try: Click on top menubar -&gt; Hangout Plus -&gt;
logout and login again.</p></div>supporttag:macappsters.tenderapp.com,2015-09-19:Comment/391200972016-02-09T21:29:31Z2016-02-09T21:29:31ZUsing Hangouts Plus as a replacement for landline phone<div><p>Ok, I did the logout and then Login. It looked like it was going
to work.<br>
I clicked on the phone icon. I entered a phone number and tried to
make a<br>
call. It says "Hangouts needs the Google Talk plugin to make
calls". I<br>
had already installed that plug-in but did it again anyway. It<br>
successfully installed. But it still keeps saying Hangouts needs
the<br>
plug-in.</p>

plug-in.<br>
I made a voice call, but it does not recognise my Logitech wireless
headset<br>
and instead plays the voice over my speakers (plugged into the
speaker<br>
port, not USB). How do I tell it to use the headset.</p></div>Ken Kingtag:macappsters.tenderapp.com,2015-09-19:Comment/391200972016-02-09T22:03:46Z2016-02-09T22:03:46ZUsing Hangouts Plus as a replacement for landline phone<div><p>Nevermind about the headset. I got it working. I had to unplug
the<br>
Logitech usb adapter and plug it back in.</p></div>Ken King
